God’s Abundance Accepted

“What then shall we say concerning these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?” Romans 8:31

Our scripture is formed in two questions this week. Paul, the author is this chapter, was trying to explain the Law of the Spirit (God) and the intercession of God in our lives, thoughts, prayers and meditations. We think it is important to point out that Paul was doing his best to interpret, though his understanding may have been amiss. There is reason to believe that this was Paul’s interpretation of what Jesus the Christ had taught. If we study for ourselves the entire picture changes slightly.

Jesus, throughout his ministry, taught that we were to do the work and to be ready to accept all our blessings. Further we were not to depend on anyone, especially God. God had created us, in his image, and also created ALL we would ever need. Jesus also taught that all the help we needed to learn was available when we would go to the Father, God, Spirit as he demonstrated so times.

One powerful example can be found in the parable of the fig tree. We will leave it to each one to look up this parable if desired. The disciples at the time asked Jesus how the tree had changed so fast and his reply tells of the Power of belief and good intentions; “And everything that you will ask in prayer believing, you shall receive.” This would indicate that it is our belief and intention that activates the Power of Spirit, God.

Our human soul is attuned to the Loving Power of Spirit. There may be times in ones life that perhaps being in harmony with Spirit was slightly off and we were not in harmony. Our desire did not fall into place. Nothing which brings harm to ourselves or others, in even a fractal way, can be brought into harmony with Spirit. Spirit God is only good and good for All. It was in the beginning and always be, eternally good for All. And original Good is unlimited in Power.

To the degree that our soul, heart and mind – in that order – understands this as the Truth of God, shall it be accomplished in our daily experience, which includes personal, business and global. These days there are many examples on social media of animals caring for one another of a different species. Somehow innately these creators, of the very same creation we are, know the Truth. When to use which Power, as it were, to sustain the Truth of harmony of living. Shall we then say “God is for us, who can be against us?”

If we love God more than ourselves, all will be added; for God is Love and God has the only Power we need. Harmony comes through our intention, readiness and belief… all things we will have need of are waiting to come into our life when we are in Harmony. Clearly we are the only ones that can open that door of Truth. We have been taught well. Did we learn well? If there is any lack of learning, are we ready to learn? And is our heart not only filled with God’s Love but also gratitude for this life experience?

Personally I’ve learned to treasure laughter applied; with all the bumps and bruises, delays and lessons. Any of you who have been with me over the years know there have been a few of those bumpy times and as they were learned also came sharing these two suggestions, “Try it, you may find it works” and “Try it, you may like it.”

We are the only one that can open that door and keep it open for Truth, Love, Harmony and all Goodness. All goodness is waiting to come into our life experience. “What then shall we say concerning these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?” We must do the work without the magic of someone else interceding. Try to laugh your way through life lessons, but above all never stop learning. Perhaps in all the laughter remember too this quote:

“Learning without thought is labor lost; thought without learning is perilous.” Confucius (550c to 478 B.C.)

We know that our thoughts create, so as our thoughts create, laugh, learn more each day of God and his Goodness. Be ready to accept your share. Be Happy!

It is with deep Gratitude for this opportunity to share my thoughts and learn with you the Power of Creation.

Let us share also the Light Bearers:

(Translated from the Ancient Mystery Schools of the Essene)

Men of the Earth, Brothers in Eternity, shake your souls Awake.

The hour so long waited for, the promised hour has come.

Over the dark firmament of suffering humanity is rising the morning star.

Heralding the day that you will understand that mans most sacred duty is to be man.

That is, to manifest life, intelligence, truth and love.

There is no higher aim, no vaster problem.

And you who realize this will break the fetters with which ignorance and fear

have bound unconscious humanity,

and will stand up free and know yourselves to be the eternal manifestation

of the un-manifest.

Witness of the absolute, sons of the great ALL

whom you call God.

Happy Mother’s Day

God’s Abundant Creation

So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.” Genesis 1:27

This being Mother’s Day, we want to first say to all Mother’s and all who Mother, the deepest gratitude for being the Love of God reflected in so many ways.

Being in the image of God,” is each person’s first title and responsibility here on Earth.

Please don’t shy away from that ‘ability to respond’. We sometimes need a gentle reminder that we do have that ‘ability to respond’ and reflect the Love and Light of God in response to all things which happen daily.

Perhaps one of the hardest things we have to contend with is to keep our thoughts definitely focused on God and His creation. There is no lack, no illness, no want in God ‘s Creation. The entire creation was a gift to each one of us, with everything we have need of or ever will have need. To sustain our Right thoughts is a continuing process, sometimes taking concentrated effort on your part to stay in Harmony with God’s Creation and thereby being ready to receive our many blessings.

Negative thoughts and action seem to surround us sometimes. Take the damaging thought of fear. A few days ago I had occasion to consult with a person so was filled with fear. Fear was the only thing they could think of. Fear was actually manifesting as illness and inability to function. Fear, of course, is a negative condition outside the parameters of God’s Creation. This person had allowed it to accumulate to the point that they could think of nothing else for any length of time. Another words they were consumed with fear. Many people experience these kinds of negative thinking. Not many are free of negative thoughts 100% of the time. This intrusion into The Way keeps them from their intention, their truth. It is our nature due to the “image” from which we each were created to know the truth.

The seeds one plants into our consciousness work for us while we are resting, while we are asleep and are most essential. If we allow confusion and unreality to take their places alongside of the “Re Al” then our very mentality is working against us in a negative vibration.

The Daily Vibrant Thoughts we offer each week are always phrased in the positive; The prayer, which is called The Lords prayer, is phrased in the positive.

Any negative or negation within our prayers and meditations are misguided and not helping us reflect the Light and Love, the Abundance, the Health, the Peace etc. we work for. The Universe can’t supply what we ask for in this manner. Within our relationships we could also benefit by practicing this formula of positivism. Plant, water and cultivate the seeds of Love, Peace, Joy, Forgiveness and your garden (life) and they will blossom into beautiful flowers beyond your expectation. What ever the pressing thing might be for you, as you travel The Way. do the same and remember your Creation, your heritage. “Let your light so shine before men that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.” Matthew 5:16

Perhaps this would be a good spot to share the Metaphysical meaning of heaven…The kingdom of heaven is a state of consciousness when the soul and the body is in harmony with Divine Mind, The Creator, The One, God. Remember your Creation in your thoughts and thinking, your actions and your words. Harvest the Blessings.

It is with deep Gratitude for this opportunity to share my thoughts and learn with you the Power of Creation.

Let us share also the Light Bearers:

(Translated from the Ancient Mystery Schools of the Essene)

“If you know these things, blessed are you if you do them.”

John 13:17

It was during the time of Passover that our scripture this week comes from. Yesterday, was the Celebration of Passover 2016. There have been powerful energies upon and around the Earth these past several weeks; Full Moon, Earth Day and Passover to mention a few. During all of these dates, groups of people, all over the world focused thought streams of energy, and love toward these events.

We are all affected by these concentrated thoughts. We are, as we have mentioned, in the midst of a time, God’s Time and Plan which is exciting and there is much for us to do. We are going into the Crystalline Age of the 5th Dimension in our New World. Everything is going faster and faster. The good and the not so good are surfacing to be embrace or transmuted in Love by you and me. We are one. And Divine Love is the key to the Way we all search.

The message continues, that was presented to the disciples long ago, is a tremendous gift to us today. Chapter 13: 13-15, after he had washed their feet. (To understand perhaps more clearly; saddles were worn in those days and the roads were dusty/unpaved.) Jesus said, “You call me Teacher and Lord; and what you say is well, for I am. If then, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, how much more should you wash one anther’s feet? For I have given you this as an example, so that just as I have done to you, you should also do.”

Now surely we are not suggesting that you wash other people’s feet today. What we are pointing to is that Jesus’ Way was to Love one another as he had said in his “first” commandment, just saying it in a different context.

We are reminding us that we are all from one source, one creation and that is of God. God is Love. People have chosen, and we feel mistakenly, chosen to divide our brothers and sisters by different labels. Labels that divide original Oneness. Yes, most certainly we have differences, uniqueness and special-ness. However, we can see sameness too, if we still our label calling and strive to follow the way lived clearly by Jesus, The Way of Life. As the Tuesday’s Vibrant Thought, God’s Plan is to be lived. That is the Way Jesus the Christ lived. And what is more Jesus told us that we, with the gifts he had shared with all the people, could achieve Christ Consciousness.

In this day and time we are each being giving the opportunity to accept fully, regardless of any label put upon us in the past, to live fully in love, joy, peace and all goodness, which was established by the Divine Creator, God, in the beginning. This is a new world and the assistance is being  Heaven given. But like all gifts from the Divine, we must accept that our I Am presence is one with ALL. As our Statement of Being states: God is; I am

“The path,The Way- is for Love to come full circle back to its own simplicity. You were created as Love in a place where love only knew itself as One.”  a quote from one of the books we recommend, The Keys of Jeshua by Green

We are all aware today of the misplace feelings that have come from the mistake of separation in our world, which is now showing itself in hateful ways, hurtful way. Hatred due to misunderstands of our uniqueness. “Hatred does not cease through hatred at any time. Hatred ceases through Love. This is an unalterable law.” This Truth was given to us by The Buddha, who interestingly,  Buddha’s date of birth was another world event celebrated recently, May 14th. More concentrated Love focused by many.

Peace is an inside job along with Joy, Harmony, Happiness and today there is strong medical evidence that even health and wealth must start from within. Thoughts, self thoughts especially are things. These are the reasons we suggest and encourage going within to the Silence of our being. The Way into this sacred space within is prayer and meditation. Like anything else…It takes concentrated practice. To quote Wordsworth, “The world is too much with us; late and soon. Getting and spending, we lay waste our powers.”

So take your knowledge from the Divine Love and take your power back and use it to the benefit of all.

Remember “If you know these things, happy are you if your do them.” And the Way is surely to “Be still and know” (Psalms 46:10) for God’s Love is the supreme attainment. We are one in that Love regardless of our differences and uniqueness. Blessings!

“But when the Spirit of Truth is come, He will guide you into all the Truth;…” John 16:13

Our scripture this week comes as Jesus and the Disciples were on their way to Gethsemane. The Disciples were trying to comprehend that their teacher would be leaving them physically very soon. Their hearts were filled with fear and sadness at what was to happen. They couldn’t imagine how they could do without His daily guidance, fellowship and their daily interaction with their teacher.

Putting His personal concerns aside he was thinking of them, John tells us. Jesus had taught them to live in the Love and Light of God; filling their hearts so full of these True vibrations that there was no possible way the shadow of fear or sadness could remain. That is not to imply that these thoughts will not try to intrude in our heart and mine from time to time. But imagine his frustration with this entire situation and these kind of thoughts must have been on his mind too when he made the statement, “Father, forgive them…” Not only did Jesus forgive his prosecutors but he was also forgiving his Disciples.

We would put forward here today, that these same emotions and vibrations are being showered upon the people who live in fear and sadness, all people, in today’s world. This same forgiveness is yours and mine NOW. Shall we step out of the shadows and into the Light as we accept fully this treasure of forgiveness? Shall we listen in the stillness of our heart for the Guidance of the Spirit of Truth? Wondrous answers to our Prayers are promised. Shall we accept NOW? This is not just an Easter lesson, and we how to convey that because it covers all of life every day. We all have shadows, fears, sadness cross our path from time to time. The good news is that there is Guidance available, but we must ask and prepare to receive. Shall we take that step forward into the bright future of unexpected blessings as we consciously live in the Light?

Maybe in the confusion and loose of people and things today,  that we have grown to love so dearly, we are being called to take that step with positive resolution and high purpose. The help we need, the guidance we crave is available. Sometimes we just need to be ready, be prepared to receive. Like Jesus we have the ability to go within the depths of our  own fear, sorrow, pain to comfort someone else, who perhaps is still searching for those same things. Even in our acts of helping we will find direction for ourselves. Be Happy!

Perhaps you have grown into the habit of thinking your abilities are short. We say that your abilities are unlimited. Simple look at the word which is calling for your action; ability. Break that word down and you will surely see the unlimited possibilities. Take it personal; A- Bility. You have the a-bility to accomplish all that is within the Law of God; that is the Love and Light of God’s creation. In doing so our task is to establish Harmony and remain in Harmony as we go about our a-bilities.  God is; I am. In the stillness of your being you will find the guidance required and be prepared to accept it in unlimited, expanded quantities in your person efforts.  Expect no limits in God’s Light. Expect nothing less than big!

Our chosen scripture was not just a promise to the Disciples but a promise for all who will accept today, NOW. Be Still and Know.

 

Lesson for Week of April 17 2016 Light or Shadow Choice

“…He that follows me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the Light of Life…”

John 3:12

Our scripture gives us a clear picture of what our highest expectations of self, the Way to follow. That is to walk in the light and consciously do our best in every situation that arises. If there is darkness, fright or anyway of the like they come from the shadows so lets turn and face the other direction and respond only when we are facing the Light of Life, God’s Light.

Wasn’t this the true mission of Jesus on earth? Can we not find the Light of Life shown by other avatars life examples? Jesus the Christ LIVED for ALL. Even in so called dying he Lived in this Light-giving manner. Should we not consider at least His Way?

Granted, the avatars or prophets prior to Jesus taught much the same but by edict. If one takes a close look at the meaning and each ones intention, all were showing a way of life.

Last week we talked about the Gentiles, a people considered well versed in the Ways of God; the ways of Righteousness. In the quote this week Jesus was speaking to another group, the Pharisees who were considered a Sect back to the 3rd century B.C. During the time of Jesus, they were under the domination of the Greek. They were in the midst of a protest to preserve their national integrity and strict conformity to Mosaic law. Would you agree that history, although perhaps not your favorite subject, may show us a way we do not have to repeat. We believe there is a wiser and an easier way.

We often talk about Harmony and consciously staying in tune with Divine Harmony.

Harmony is the Way. Like any way it takes time and conscious attention to our every reaction and our heart of heart living in unity, away from the darkness of pain and sadness or in any shadow. It does not matter how deep or dark the shadow, there is a Way and that is Light. And this Way is something we can only choose for ourselves.

In choosing we then have another choice…to Let our Light Shine to the world. We invite you to choose our life long Logo, Matthew 5:16 Not to say that there haven’t been times in my 81 years that I too have not paid attention to the Light-giving powers that are and always will be. Life is a learning process.

This Logo doesn’t guarantee shadows will never appear, but when they do and we acknowledge that our choice will serve best if in the Light. Shadows are not near as crazy or frightening when we turn and face the Light.

Metaphysically, the Pharisees represent a state of consciousness that is concerned with the formalities and customs of the external realm or the world. The realm of form or what we today refer to as worldly pleasures and things. Is that the consciousness, the consciousness of the shadow or the Light? Which Way of Life shall we choose? Let us all give these questions, in view of this old way and it’s results, some thought, prayer &/or meditations this week. Shine The Light upon them. Find the Harmony within the Light, Love and Oneness of our Highest Consciousness.

Til next week I remain filled with Gratitude to all my teachers and for this time to share. I welcome comments and questions.

Lesson for April 10, 2016

Then Simon Peter opened his mouth and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons; But among all people, he who respects him and works righteousness is accepted with him.” Acts 11: 34-35

 

For purpose of fully grasping the significance of this verse in our world today I’ve chosen to quote the entire 34th and 35th verse. Luke, a highly educated physician from Greece and disciple of Jesus The Christ is the credited author.

Metaphysically the name Luke means: Luminous, light-giving. One who ceases to cling to material/worldly things, abiding in peace and joy. We can always and certainly today benefit by increased luminosity.

Luke was speaking to the Gentiles. The Gentiles of the Bible comprised all nations and peoples not of Israelite origin or faith, who at that time were considered well versed in the Ways of God; the ways of Righteousness. In truth there was no and is no separation in Righteousness. Right-Use of God’s Law of Love.

Gentile metaphysically meaning, a state of mind unregenerate or emotion outside a Higher State of consciousness. Perhaps a State we may find ourselves in situations and events. However today we are all privileged to have a broader understanding of The Way and truly we are expected to use this understanding with wisdom.

The principles of Luke’s message still applies today perhaps with the emphasis on living in the Light and Love of God in the Right-use of Goodness in our choices. Doing so by using our Highest Mind Consciously. As God is no respecter of persons, we too must be open to accept not judge, but be discriminating with care and God’s Grace. An expanded use of our gift of discernment in every day life and living.

When we live consciously in the Light and Love we shall discover a new Nirvana, like that spoken of by Tagor, Nirvana is not the blowing out of a candle. It is the extinguishing of the flame because day is come.”

When a new day or a new approach to living presents by its dawning, we each are filled with Light, the candle has served us well. That may be a new meaning of nirvana, but we trust it will be considered with careful High Minded Consciousness in your prayers and meditations.

In Gratitude present this as an opportunity to share and trust that your week is filled with new visions, oneness, discoveries and new dawnings of Love, Light and Joy.
